Andrea Iannone drops retirement hint unless his WorldSBK demand is met
Andrea I✨anno⛦ne explains his 2026 WorldSBK contract wish

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Andrea Iannone could retire at the end of this year, ✨he has claim🎉ed.
The Go Eleven Ducati rider is plotting his 2026 in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:World Superbike Championship.
But unless his hopes for his next contract are met, Iannone insists he might race for the final time at the𒊎 end of tღhis season.
“The championship started very well but t💖he last two races have been a disaster, so right now I would stop tomorrow because it’s not easy,” he🌟 told GPOne.
“The level is high and with a private t🐻eam it becomes more complex. We’ll see next year.
𒁃“We are in talks, and if an official manufacturer comes forward, or at least something good and that makes sense, then I’d welcome it.
“Certainly I would like to fight for a world 🔯title as it’s the only achievement I lack.
“In WorldSBK it is within reach but you need tꦦo have a package that💖 allows you to excel.
“To co💛me back, what I did in 2024 and this year is fine, but🦹 then to aspire to win you need to have the top.
“If I were to find a solution I would like to continue for a cou𒀰ple more seasons otherwise I’d call it a day.”
Iannone came back from a four-year ban to race in WorldSBꦆK last year but his contract with the Duc🐲ati-backed team ends this year.
He highsided at the mos🍬t recent round at Most, injuring his foot, although it hasn’t stopped him from taking part in this🐼 week’s Misano testing.
The WorldSBK rider market largely depends on Toprak Razgatl𒁃ioglu and Nicolo Bulega, who ಌare both out of contract with BMW and Ducati respectively.
The ch💎ampionship’s top two riders are considering moves to M🌌otoGP.
Alvaro Bautista and🍃 Jonathan Rea are also out of contract so there could be a lot of movingꦺ parts for the 2026 grid.
An opportunity that entices Iannone🐷 toꦏ stay might crop up, then.
If not, ﷽Iannone insists he has interests outside of racing. Namely the construction industry, entertainment or catering, o🌠r a developmental programme for young riders.
